Devo/Trivia
< Devo
- Fan Nickname: Spudboys.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: The "Dr. Detroit" video, wherein the band members perform a lot of highly experimental blue-screen tomfoolery, was not at any point included in The Complete Truth About De-Evolution collection, not even on the VHS version.
- Booji Boy's book My Struggle is somewhat hard to find in hard copy.
- Missing Episode: The only professional footage of the New Traditionalists tour was destroyed in an insurance claim. The 3-Devo concert special met a similar fate, but has survived in low-grade bootleg form.
- What Could Have Been: At one point some record executives suggested that Johnny Rotten be the frontman of Devo.

Jerry Casale: [It] was an absolutely stupid idea. We were a unit. Five punk scientists with a plan. We didn't need a guy who didn't realize anarchy and rebellion were obsolete except as cartoon consumer hooks.
